Should one ask another for their favourite pleasure in the workplace, chances are it won't be the paperwork that comes with their position- chances are that won't be near the top of their list of 'things to enjoy at the office'. Now while more reasonable people would leave their paperwork for the last minute, giving a rushed presentation spewed with 'uhms', 'ahs' and incoherent mumbles- Benjamin didn't have this luxury. With the comings and goings required by his position, the long duration required to hunt down individuals meant that Olin's papers built up. Without submitting all of the outstanding documents before he left again, it would be anybody's guess when they'd be completed. Which was why Benjamin Olin was still at the Headquarters, working late into the night on his outstanding work rather than watching television at home. The desk he was using was devoid of any personal belongings, instead its teak cover was buried under scattered documents and paperweights that moved with the completion of each new paper.
A short blip came from Olin's phone and it took him a second to it. Putting down his pen,
- Sis -
You haven't been at the Guild in over a week, where are you? - June 28
Don't forget about the check up today. - July 15th
I can grab some pizza. Should I expect anyone else? - 9:30
No - 9:32
Alright, I'll see you later. Any idea when you'll arrive? - 9:33
Soon tl - 9:36 Here now. - 9:40
Echoes of thunder ripped through through the office room, and a faint trickling of shattered glass could be heard as it fell to the floor. Whilst lacking in tremors, all of the guild members present had flinched or or turned their heads in reaction. Some had ducked down to the ground and others, like Benjamin, had dropped what they had been holding. Leaning over to pick up his phone, Olin looks between the workers currently occupying the room, those who looked back gave questioning or knowing glances, certain of who was responsible.
"Laws are made to be followed, not to be ignored or discarded."
Name: Benjamin Olin Gender: Male Age: 22 Alignment: Guild Rank within Organisation: Captain
Birthmark Shape:Link Location of Birthmark: On the nape. Magical Abilities: Dust Form - Benjamin has the ability to transform himself, his clothing and, if he wishes, whatever he is touching into particles of grey-brown dust. In this form he can travel at fast speeds through the air and is less vulnerable to physical attacks.
Place of Birth: Santiago, Chile. Currently Residing: New York, New York. Personality: Benjamin is accustomed to working alone - Not everyone in the Guild is accepting of his ruthlessness which at times borders on excessive, nor does everyone view his work as righteous. Ergo he tends to be seen as a cruel individual who acts mercilessly to uphold Guild law although nobody can call his conviction into question, and how he is able to keep up with his tasks as a leader yet be away so often is a mystery to many. The only person he truly cares about is his sister, although they aren't on speaking term he would likely kill for her.
History/Bio: Born and raised in Chile till he was eleven. Once Benjamin's powers began to emerge he was taught the magic of his family though his single mother alongside his year-younger sister Emilia. Most importantly they were taught about the Guild and how the organisation protected people like their family, the duo were awestruck over the idea of such a powerful group and what it stood for. Thanks to the earning of their mother the duo were brought up in a relatively safe environment, not having to turn to criminals or the underworld to protect themselves the family grew up relatively innocent for the first ten years. Then the mother's employees commanded her over to work indefinitely overseas in the US. The family moved and grew accustomed to their new home and life - The children learned English and Benjamin's mother continued to train them in magic throughout the years as she juggled her personal life and the increasing strain of her work.
Benjamin was sixteen when his mother died. A botched burglary and a woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn't a targeted attack by a rogue magi, his mother died like any other mortal, though Benjamin didn't care about that fact. He couldn't believe that the Guild hadn't protected his mother. Logic be damned. To him it didn't matter if they couldn't, if they couldn't protect her then they weren't doing their damn job. They weren't following their own rules and laws. That was the only possibility in Ben's eyes and he was going to make sure that from now on they would. He'd make sure of it even if he had to deliver judgement himself. Ben and his sister were recruited and moved into the Guild headquarters.
While Emilia dealt with her loss with friendships Benjamin used his pain as a foci, he studied books from cover to end - memorising any and all laws that he could. Although the attack on the Guild by the Dark Shadow occurred a few years ago there was still an amount of somber and stress, as such Ben struggled to find a proper teacher. That was no matter to him, if he couldn't find anyone to train him then he would do what he could. For the first year within the guild he conditioned himself, training his body's strength and endurance in an attempt to compensate for his lack of martial training. The year after he finally received a teacher and began to train in the art of fighting.
By eighteen he became a member of the Guild and as such was sent on missions from higher-ups. At this point his ruthlessness was revealed, few missions ended in failure although Ben's limited extent of training meant that during the first few months he often returned bleeding or injured in some other way which caused some to speculate if he was ready for his position. If it wasn't for his animalistic endurance that they saw then perhaps they would have pulled him off of missions. The higher-ups never truly punished Ben for his sprees of violence. Even if Ben never left hotels smeared with blood or alleyways littered with corpses He often returned with one or two broken bodies - the corpses of those who refused to surrender to Ben and his one chance policy. Ben's notoriety spread, his own sister began to avoid him and although torn he knew he couldn't stop, nobody else was willing to uphold the laws. As the months went by Ben became much more efficient, returning with severe injuries less frequently than when he started. After two more years - at twenty - he must have impressed someone pretty high on the ladder with his effectiveness. He was promoted to Captain although he took this as an opportunity to choose his own hits, or "hunts" as he calls them. Even if he now has responsibilities he refuses to leave the field, much like how he refuses teammates to work alongside in his own missions, even though fieldwork can keep Ben away from the Guild office for weeks if not months. In all this time Ben still prefers missions involving the apprehension of magi or criminals, if he can stop them then he could be protecting others from such people. It's okay though. He only kills criminals, they're bound to break the law at some point....
There we go. Wondering if I can still use the old Benji.

Name: Salem Adelaide de Silva Relationship: Warm Characters opinion of them: Salem isn't a leader because of her talent or because daddy spoiled her. She's there because she worked her way into that position and held on. I can respect that. She's also working to uphold the values of the system. Now that I support.
Name: Aliira Van Drauga Relationship: Acquaintances Characters opinion of them: I've heard of Aliira's resolve, like me she's injured herself in the line of duty and although she's naive the world will harden her with time. Maybe she'll be more willing to kill those deserving in the future.
Name: Zeke Deshotel Relationship: Acquaintances Characters opinion of them: Given enough of a push he'll do what needs to be done.
Name: August Donovan Relationship: Unknown Characters opinion of them: I don't know much about this kid, like me he seems to have lost someone... Lets hope he's worth recruiting.
Name: Circe Masers Relationship: Hates - Enemies - Nemesis Characters opinion of them: She's insane. A threat to everyone. The sooner I kill that psycho the better.
Oh snap it's back! Should I celebrate now or after the main thread is created? :D
I hope Benji is still good enough to be accepted, I can change him if he doesn't fit with the new setting!

No one said that they'd be combat-based placement tests! And there is plenty of opportunity to be social before, during (another person's test), and after.
I hope it's not a written examination! I've had too many of those these past few months...
